Just a word of caution for those of you upgrading this port:
Version 2.0.0 of the Intel driver, among other things, fixes a problem with video bios screen resolutions, but,in my case on a laptop, makes full screen 3D crash the machine. [...]
With the new intel driver my laptop with Intel 915GM hangs (at least keyboard, mouse and ACPI power button became unusable) sometimes during switching between xorg's zero and first screens.
At first I thought I was having a SDL problem: SDL games would ask for full screen surfaces (at a resolution other than the 1280x800 native resolution of my laptop display) and the machine would hang. I spent some time on the SDL mailing list and quickly narrowed it down to the "intel" driver version 2.0.0. Now, with the working "i810" driver, if a game wants full screen 800x600, I get a 800x600 window centered on a full screen 1280x800 black background. This is the expected behavior (at least other laptops I've had with other graphic chips do this). All I can say at this point is try the "i810" driver that is on the Crux 2.3 CD. Good luck. Chris
